Just finished 'kings over the water' by Theo Aronson. A history book about the Stuart pretenders to the throne. Particularly good as it covers the aftermath of 1746 and follows what subsequently happened to the old, young pretenders in old age. Interesting read.

Four. The man in chairman is from the Latin root manus meaning hand. I.e. Gender non specific, so if you're marked down call a solicitor (a legal practitioner not a prostitute). -
